Beyonce Debuts Goddess Braids On Stroll With Blue Ivy

The manicure was purple but it was all about Blue when Beyoncé stepped out in Manhattan on Wednesday cradling her 6-month-old.

After cranking up her diva fan for a dizzying run of comeback concerts at the top of summer, the 4 singer seemed to be happily in full mommy mode, beaming as cameras captured her exiting an N.Y.C. office building holding Blue Ivy, according to Us Weekly.

The stylish duo were rocking some fashionable duds, of course, just the latest hint that B and her Marc Jacobs-flats-wearing little lady are vying for prominence on the Mommy and Me best-dressed lists.

While Beyoncé debuted a head of gold-tinted goddess braids that seemed inspired by sister Solange — a Carol’s Daughter spokesperson with a taste for the boho — Blue appeared to have sprouted an even fuller mess of dark curls. B matched her earthy ’do with a printed jumper and oversize hoops, while B.I.C. went for coral pants and a floral print tank.

Still, it’s not all diaper changes and bottle feedings for Mrs. Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. The mogulette has been keeping busy with everything from music to politics. After First Lady Michelle Obama turned up in the balcony section to cheer on the singer during one of her four aforementioned Memorial Day weekend shows, Queen B returned the favor, throwing her support behind the Obamas in a new campaign video.
